Cap-ex vs Op-ex. When I first got out of college everything was supposed to be
cap-ex. Buy hardware so we didn't have to spend people time on stuff. Now
you're supposed to turn everything into op-ex. I've got a whole bunch of VM
servers that would be great to train on but rather than getting me a $200/mo
dedicated internet line we spend $2,000/mo in Microsoft Azure...

I'm sure it's some variant of the shit where they will pay more in operating
costs, often many times over, rather than do a better job up front, because
it would involve a slightly higher capital cost. "Hey, not MY budget." Even
if one corporate entity is who is paying ALL costs in the end.
So, how you rig the game will result in how successful it is overall, over time.
Ultimately I'm sure it's why big companies die, and small ones are formed.
They get ossified and inefficient, and the new small sharks swoop in and
eat the lunch, and eventually the carcass, of the big fish. Ad infinitum.
